Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1601 Retaining a Place in the Top 100
Sixth place: Michael Thomas, New Orleans Saints wide receiver, 2019 Offensive Player of the Year, rightfully the best wide receiver in the league right now, Brees' most trusted passing target, and completed an incredible 1725 ​​receiving yards in the 2019 regular season.

What's even more frightening is that he is still improving and progressing, which is the key to the New Orleans Saints' continued competitiveness.

After the Super Bowl at the beginning of the year, people were heartbroken by the San Francisco 49ers' collapse in the fourth quarter. The seemingly close game turned into a decisive final stretch, leaving the league and all fans with a crucial question:
Who can defeat the Kansas Chiefs?

The only top team the Kansas City Chiefs haven't faced in the past three seasons is the New Orleans Saints.

The last time these two teams met was back in the 2016 season, in Week 7 of the regular season, when the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the New Orleans Saints 27-21 at home. According to the schedule, the two teams will meet again in the upcoming 2020 season, which is a four-year cycle.

In an interview, Michael Thomas expressed his confidence, saying, "We are the ones who will end the Kansas City Chiefs myth."

Despite the fans' complaints, four years ago, without Levi or Mahomes, the Kansas City Chiefs still defeated the New Orleans Saints, who had Brees and Michael Thomas. It's unclear where Michael Thomas's confidence came from.

Michael Thomas, a fourth-year player and a 2016 draft pick, entered the league a year earlier than Levi and Mahomes. To be honest, in his rookie season, although Michael Thomas had already shown his talent by completing a 1,000-yard season, he was still not mature. Now he is a completely different player.

But Michael Thomas was still blushing from those words, saying, "...we'll see on the court."

It's unbelievable that a list of the top 100 stars could still spark such a heated debate. The only thing to say is that the Kansas City Chiefs' ability to draw hatred is unparalleled.

Fifth place goes to Patrick Mahomes, quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, who has held the same position for the second year in a row.

Statistically, Mahomes' overall performance has declined slightly compared to the 2018 season, but his cooperation with the team has become increasingly harmonious, forming a smooth and unstoppable offensive unit for the Kansas City Chiefs. He has once again gained the recognition of his league colleagues and firmly secured fifth place, proving his ability.

So when the Kansas City Chiefs announced a ten-year deal with Mahomes during the offseason, the players said that Vicki had made another brilliant move.

Fourth place: Aaron Donald, defensive tackle for the Los Angeles Rams. The 2019 season was extremely disappointing for Donald, both individually and for the team. The team missed the playoffs, and he failed to win his third consecutive Defensive Player of the Year award. It was all a domino effect.

The doubts surrounding Donald are rampant both inside and outside the league: Without his physical advantage, can Donald still continue to be invincible with his one trick?
However, the players' attitudes were slightly different. Although Donald slipped from second place last year to fourth place this year, he still held a high position.

From the players' perspective, Donald's intimidation remains a nightmare for all quarterbacks and a source of fear for offensive lines. After all, their 80-point performance may be more impressive than someone else's 100-point all-out effort.

Watt was the same in this respect.

Watt's 2019 season was once again disrupted by injuries, and his intimidation seemed to have declined across the board, but he still ranked 46th on the list of the 100 greatest players. In the words of offensive forwards, "Nobody wants to face JJ Watt."

However, a problem arises—

Who can outdo Aaron Donald?
Three elite quarterbacks have fallen out of the top ten, and the names of the Defensive Player of the Year and Offensive Player of the Year have already been announced. So?
Russell Wilson.

Boom! Boom boom boom! A chorus of exclamations erupted.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is having the best season of his career. During the two years the Seahawks made consecutive Super Bowl appearances, they were a typical defensive team. However, after the "Bombshells" faded away, the team is shifting its focus and relying on Wilson's outstanding performance to return to the playoff race.

In the 2019 season, Wilson was selected to the Pro Bowl for the seventh consecutive year, made the All-American Second Team for the first time in his career, achieved a quarterback rating of over 106 for two consecutive seasons, made over 30 passing touchdowns for three consecutive seasons, and had the league's most fourth-quarter comebacks and a tie for the league's most five game-winning shots.

Once upon a time, Russell Wilson was hailed as one of the "Big Four" running backs, shining alongside Colin Kaepernick, Robert Griffin III, and Cam Newton, sparking a craze for running quarterbacks. But now, those three "running backs" have all gone their separate ways. Newton is heading to the New England Patriots next season, hoping to start a second spring in his career. Unexpectedly, Wilson has shed the running back label and is showcasing his passing ability.

Perhaps Wilson cannot be compared to a perfect quarterback like Lamar Jackson, but there is no doubt that the short man has truly established himself and has a place in the league.

This season, Wilson has surged 23 places to a new high in the list of the 100 best stars, breaking into the top three for the first time!
Knock knock knock, knock knock knock, the final suspense is about to be revealed. The League's Top 100 Superstars list has never been so exciting and tense since its inception.

Logically, the number one spot on the list of the 100 greatest players is usually widely accepted, far ahead of the competition, and professional players' opinions are relatively similar; however, this year's list has sparked countless debates, much like the discussion surrounding the regular season MVP:
Li Wei, or Jackson?
Jackson, or Levi?

One was the spiritual leader of the Kansas City Chiefs, but he was a running back; the other was a perfect quarterback whom the Baltimore Ravens had unearthed and nurtured, but they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.

So, who was the best player of the 2019 season?
In other rankings, the media, professionals, and netizens are all bystanders, and their selections are often based on data that may be swayed by public opinion. But the 100 Greatest Players are different. Professional players make their own choices. They are the participants, they truly face these players and experience their performances up close, engaging in physical confrontations and spiritual battles.

So, will the selection results be different?

Undoubtedly, this is a suspenseful situation, especially after the regular season MVP and Super Bowl MVP awards were announced, with voices calling for Jackson's fairness resounding. Now, the only hope for Baltimore Ravens fans lies in the selection of the 100 Greatest Players, hoping the players will give Jackson justice.

It smeared Li Wei's face.

The revelation of this suspense was just as tense and exciting as the Super Bowl finale, leaving all football fans holding their breath.

then.

Second place goes to Lamar Jackson, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens.

First place: Levi, running back for the Kansas City Chiefs.
